    <p>I find myself doing 2 things quite often in JS, at the moment using jQuery:</p> <p>The first is the populating of an HTML element, which might look like:</p> <pre><code>$.get('http://www.example.com/get_result.php', { id: 1 }, function (data) { $('#elementId').html(data); }); </code></pre> <p>The second is populating a select element with a JSON result, such as:</p> <pre><code>$.getJSON('http://www.example.com/get_result.php', { id: 1 }, function(data) { $.each(data, function(value, name) { $('#selectField').append('&lt;option value="' + value + '"&gt;' + name + '&lt;/option&gt;'); } )}; </code></pre> <p>What I'm looking for is either a better what of doing either of these or an extension (either library or a chunk of code) to jQuery that will do these without having to recreate the code all the time. Or is there already something in jQuery that makes this faster?</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> As mentioned by <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/365699/better-way-or-reusable-code-to-populate-an-html-element-or-create-a-select-afte#365790">Kevin Gorski</a>, populating the HTML element could be done as:</p> <pre><code>$('#elementId').load('http://www.example.com/get_result.php', { id: 1 }); </code></pre> <p>This is perfect. Although, if you wanted to do a POST, it wouldn't work. Then doing <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/365699/better-way-or-reusable-code-to-populate-an-html-element-or-create-a-select-afte#365797">Collin Allen's</a> method is better.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
